Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 46 years,

On the second day of November, Taicang Prefecture Government Office

In the early morning, the intermittent sound of begging for mercy and whipping in the wooden prison had lasted the whole night.

When Liang Nai, governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, walked into the back office, he saw Li Xu, a weaver in Suzhou, who was standing at the door of the prison looking through his confession.

"Lord Li," Liang Nai stepped forward, cupped his hands at Li Xu, "How are those managers doing?"

"I've almost vomited," Li Xu handed the confession to Liang Nai, and said with his hands tied in his sleeves, "it was a man named Wu Bai who went back and forth between the capital and Jiangsu and Zhejiang, bringing a lot of money with him. This group of local petty officials are not only greedy for money, but also because of the forces behind Wubai, they have to obey orders."

"It's really audacious," Liang Nai repeated his confession, and said in a low voice, "supporting a traitor is tantamount to treason, and if the higher-ups pursue it, it will be a great crime to punish the Nine Clans! How many people will be implicated this time."

Li Xu stroked his beard and sighed slowly, "These people are just taking chances. Originally, there were few wars in the Jiangnan area. How many weapons are rusted in the warehouse. There are very few places." Counting and calculating, if there is any investigation, it is only a part of the damage. Who will pursue it? What's more, Wu Bai is acting on behalf of others. Which of these small officials in the local area dare to resist orders? I was discovered by the superiors, I am afraid that after knowing the reason, they will help to hide it."

"Master Li is right," Liang Nai and Li Xu walked down the steps side by side, "this time we have saved a lot of time thanks to the blessing of Prince Yong. I heard early in the morning that Prince Yong always kills people when he does business. Cutting and decisive, clean and neat, looking at it now, it really lives up to its reputation."

Hearing this, Li Xu's half-white beard twitched a few times, and nodded silently.

Long Street Market

"Dude, two bowls of braised pork noodles in white soup, a drawer of crab roe soup dumplings, and four dishes of side dishes!"

"Okay, wait a moment, sir," the clerk flicked a white towel, and moved the two to a long table behind the door.

Su Wei rolled up his sleeves, widened his eyes, looked around, looked around.

The fourth elder brother who came out in disguise with a certain bold father-in-law smiled helplessly, "There are three master chefs arranged for you in the yard, you don't need to come out to eat in this small shop, how delicious can it be? If you like Suzhou cuisine, then we can hire two masters of Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine in the mansion."

"The hired masters don't have this smell," Su Wei picked up the vinegar bottle and smelled it, "the masters in the mansion cook carefully, a piece of tofu can be carved out, the taste is delicious, But it’s too lacking in fireworks. After eating for a long time, it’s easy to forget who we are. The place where we are sitting now is the place where the real people depend on food. What comes down is the most simple and original taste.”

"Greedy is greedy. I came out with you, and I have heard you a lot of truth." The fourth elder brother curled up his mouth and sipped his tea.

"The dishes are here, please take your time," the waiter brought over a large tray, two bowls full of white soup noodles, and a tray of steaming crab roe buns.

"Let's eat, let's eat," Su Wei picked up a spoon and filled a bun for the fourth elder brother first, and then picked up another for himself. Before he had time to blow a few times, he opened his mouth impatiently to bite.

"Be careful, don't burn—"

"what!"

Before the fourth elder brother finished speaking, Su Wei had already jumped up, sticking out his tongue and turning around several times.

The fourth elder brother sighed helplessly, and quickly asked Xiao Erduan to wash his mouth with a cup of herbal tea, "I'm really scared of you, next time you want to come out to experience some fireworks, you should figure out the before and after, okay? Okay? You know it’s a soup dumpling, why are you biting it so rashly? Come here, show me, is it hot?”

"The forehead seems to be out of control for a while, and there is soup in the forehead." Su Wei opened his mouth to show the fourth elder brother with his tongue, "Why does it hurt, does it seem to be bubbling?"

"No bubbles," the fourth brother blew cold a spoonful of noodle soup and fed it to Su Wei. "It's true that it's hot. Don't eat this soup dumpling. It won't dissipate heat if it has crab roe."

"No, I'll be picky," Su Wei swallowed the noodle soup, then hurriedly picked up a steamed stuffed bun and put it in a bowl. After blowing for a long time, he took a small bite and slowly sipped the soup .

The fourth elder brother looked at him and laughed, and picked one up to eat himself.

"Hey, did you see that?" Diners who were a few tables away gathered together and pointed at the two people behind the door, "Those two must be the same, like the youngest son of the Zhang family, they don't know how to avoid taboos at all. "

"What are you avoiding?" The other person at the same table laughed maliciously, "Those rich people like to play this trick. Now the imperial court does not allow them to visit brothels, so why raise Yangzhou skinny horses. Those who play with these oily noodles Xiaowan, being fresh and not afraid of being caught, isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"

Fragments of gossip spread into Su Wei's ears, and the original delicious crab roe buns had no taste.

The fourth elder brother could still sit still, as if he didn't hear anything, he ate a bowl of noodles, two buns, and drank half a pot of tea.

Su Wei had already put down his chopsticks and glared at the diners angrily. The fourth elder brother bent his lips and patted Su Wei's hand, causing those people to sigh.

"King—Master!" Fu Nai arrived in a hurry with his guards, and the fourth elder brother went out in disguise, without anyone beside him except Eunuch Su.When they found out, they were scared out of their wits and searched the entire market before finally finding these two ancestors, "Master, how could you come out without bringing anyone? What's going on here?" Unexpectedly, how can the servants explain it?"

"How do you shorten your words? Does your forehead look human?" Su Wei interrupted rather dissatisfied.

"Su—what's wrong with your tongue?" Fu Nai was confused, already convinced that it must be this bold father-in-law who fooled his master out.

"Several guest officials," the clerk of the small shop greeted him tremblingly. He was really a little scared with such a large group of people blocking the door.What's more, he also heard what the diners said just now, because they are regular customers, he didn't mind their own business.Now it seems that these two masters are not easy to provoke.

"Okay, it's getting late, we should go back," the fourth elder brother stood up, and while leading Su Wei out, he told Fu Nai, "Pay the bill to the shopkeeper, and then let those who talk nonsense The diners dragged to the back for a beating. We are newcomers, and it is not easy to be too public, and fifty boards per person is enough."

"Hey, this slave is taking orders," Fu Nai lowered his body.

The few people who were still watching the excitement were dumbfounded. When the guards stretched their arms and dragged them towards the back door, their calves cramped.

Only a brave one shouted with a trembling voice, "You dare to hit me, do you know who I am? Tell you, my second uncle is the magistrate of Changshu County, and I am the nephew of the county master!"

The guard holding the man's arm couldn't help chuckling, and said in a low voice, "Go back and ask your second uncle who came to Taicang Prefecture recently. You dare to arrange for the royal family and relatives. An uncle who is a county magistrate may be a rescuer." I can't miss you."

"The emperor's relatives..." The elder nephew of the county lord was stunned for a moment, and when he realized it, before he could put the person on the ground, he passed out as soon as he rolled his eyes.

On the sixth day of November, Songjiang Prefecture Port

As soon as a small boat stopped on the shore, it was firmly hooked by four iron hooks.

"Wu Bai, Monk Yi Nian, you will be arrested before you go ashore!" Liang Nai led a group of government soldiers to seal the surrounding area, and a small group of rebels who were lurking around were also caught on the spot.

"Who am I supposed to be, so it's Lord Liang," Wu Bai walked out of the cabin, and bowed to Liang Nai from a distance, "Your Excellency made great achievements in quelling the San Francisco Rebellion, and got the handwritten letter 'Qi Chang Shi Mei' from the Holy Spirit." Four words, my Highness admires it very much."

"Let's talk nonsense," Liang Nai frowned, "You assist the rebels in the rebellion, it's considered a rebellion, quickly hand over the bandit leader, Monk Yi Nian, and stop playing tricks with me!"

"Lord Liang, are you really confused or fake?" Wu Bai stood with his hands behind his back, his expression seemed to be very leisurely, "There are no rebels here, the younger one was ordered by His Royal Highness to call the rebel army into King Qin. Liang My lord probably doesn't know yet, Babeile is trying to shake the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, the Holy Majesty was bewitched by the courtiers, and now he is in danger, is Master Liang trying to help the evildoers?"

"It's nonsense!" Liang Nai waved his hands and shouted, "This old man has been on the battlefield for a long time, how can you fool me at will? If you don't go ashore again, don't blame the old man for being rude!"

"Who is talking nonsense?" Wu Bai was not afraid at all. He took out a red silk letter from his sleeve and held it high above him. In a few days, it won't be long before the Northwest Garrison will move upon hearing the news. At that time, don't blame the little one for not reminding you, my lord!"

"You—" Before Liang Nai could speak, Wu Bai raised his voice and rushed to the soldiers in the field again, "The crown prince is here to tell you, do you all want to disobey? Your Majesty's wealth is at stake, but you are still blocking my way here. When the Holy Majesty investigates it later, all of you have committed the heinous crime of ransacking your family and exterminating your family!"

"Well said!" A loud laugh sounded from behind the people, and the government soldiers retreated to the sides automatically, revealing the fourth elder brother in the middle who was wearing a stone blue python robe embroidered with five claws and dragon patch.

"Prince Yong——" Wu Bai's face immediately changed when he saw the person coming, and the red silk that was held high in his hand also slowly fell down.

"This kind of eloquence can turn the dead into the living, and the black into the white, which really makes me amazed." The fourth prince curled his lips and walked in front of the people, "If it wasn't for asking He Qi to waste everything first, I would really I want to take you for my own use."

Wu Bai pursed his lips, hesitated for a long while, leaned over and knelt down and said, "I have kowtowed to Prince Yong, this slave is guilty, the leader of the bandit, Monk Yi Nian, has just dived and escaped from the bottom of the boat, please hunt him down as soon as possible!"

"What?" Liang Nai was frightened for a moment, and hurriedly sent government soldiers down the river to track down Monk Yi Nian.

"Lord Liang, don't worry," the fourth elder brother lowered his head and rolled up his sleeves. "Without weapons and food supplies in the later stage, there will be no trouble with just one monk and a thousand traitors. If they really start a riot, Master Liang Then we can gather good government soldiers and wipe them out in one fell swoop."

"Your Majesty is right," Liang Nai cupped his hands at the fourth elder brother, and ordered Wu Bai to be brought to the shore.

"You are a smart man," the fourth elder brother looked at Wu Bai who was brought in front of him. "When I saw this king coming, I could guess that your master had already failed. At this time, you can take the initiative to surrender, and maybe you can get it back." One life."

"Your servant is convicted," Wu Bai lowered his head, "Your servant is willing to confess, as long as the prince can save your life, this servant is willing to say anything!"

"Okay," the fourth elder brother slightly curled his lips, turned around and said to Liang Nai, "Master Liang, I have taken this Wubai away, and I have fulfilled Huang Ama's will. The rest of the matter of clearing up the chaotic party, I believe that there is no need for me to extend my hand, Lord Liang and Lord Li can bear it alone. When I return to Beijing, I will definitely report the truth to Huang Ama and ask for credit for the two lords."

"Don't dare, don't dare," Liang Nai leaned down and said, "Your Highness is unparalleled in resourcefulness, and the old minister admires it very much. This time, he was able to intercept the food and weapons of the rebels so smoothly, all thanks to His Highness's guidance, and the ministers dare not take credit for it. If you are not in a hurry to return to Beijing, it is better to visit Suzhou for a few more days, and let the ministers wait to show you the kindness of the landlord."

"My lord, you're welcome." The fourth elder brother glanced at the anxious Eunuch Su, "Huang Ama is still waiting for me to return to Beijing to reply to the decree, so there is really no delay. Tomorrow, the king will leave for Beijing."

At night, Eunuch Su, who was making a fuss about going out to play, finally rolled into the bed and fell asleep.

The fourth elder brother was wearing a robe, leaning on the bed and reading a book.

Fu Nai asked for orders to come in from outside the door, and said in a low voice, "My lord, I have asked. As expected, everything was planned by Tuo Heqi and Qi Shiwu. The prince seems to have disagreed from the beginning. , and ordered Tuo Heqi to stop his actions several times, but they were all perfunctory."

The fourth elder brother closed the pages of the book, sighed slowly, "Suo Xiang left this big stall, it seems to be saving his strength for the second brother, but in fact, every advantage has a disadvantage."

Fu Nai lowered his head, thought for a moment and asked softly, "My servant sees that Wu Bai has said almost everything he should have said. Even if the rest is recruited, it's hard to tell whether it's true or not. Tomorrow morning, we will set off on the road Already, my lord, look, this Wubai—”

"According to the plan," the fourth elder brother lowered his head and opened the book again, "I dare not use such a cunning and powerful master."

"Yes, I understand," Fu Nai bowed and retreated.

The bedroom fell into silence again. After dawdling with Su Wei in the tent for a while, he turned around and said, "Are you afraid that if this martial art is in the hands of the Long Live Lord, it will make the Long Live Lord feel unbearable towards the Prince again?"

The fourth elder brother paused while flipping through the book, glanced at Su Wei and said, "Now, no matter how much you can't bear it, to the second elder brother, it is tantamount to drinking poison to quench your thirst. The master did this just to help Huang Ama save money. It's just troublesome."

Su Wei pursed his lips, turned around and lay on his back and looked towards the roof, "That Li Xu and Liang Nai seem to be valued by the Long Live Lord, and they may also go to the palace for this matter."

"Don't be afraid," the fourth elder brother curled his mouth and touched Su Wei's head, "I will make arrangements for you, so you don't have to worry about it."

The next day, Liang Nai, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and Li Xu, the weaving company in Suzhou, led officials of all sizes to send the four elder brothers to the official ship.

"The ministers will send off the prince respectfully, take care of the prince all the way," Liang Nai and Li Xu bowed to the fourth elder brother to salute.

"My lords, go back quickly, don't be so polite, I'm leaving now," the fourth elder brother bowed back.

On the other side, Wu Bai was escorted to the shore by two escorting soldiers, but before he boarded the boat, suddenly, two sharp arrows shot through the air.

One cut through the wrist of the Fubing, and the other pierced through Wu Bai's chest.
